An automatic technique for estimating and modeling the glottal flow derivative source
waveform from speech, and applying the model parameters to speaker identification, is …

The quality of synthetic speech is affected by two factors: intelligibility and naturalness. At
present, synthesized speech may be highly intelligible, but often sounds unnatural. Speech …

A traditional theory of phonology has three components: an inventory of phonological
entities, a set of rules or constraints for describing the relations of these entities, and a …

This thesis explores, through a number of production and perception studies, the nature of
the voice source signal and how it varies in spoken communication. Research is also …

Аннотация Исследовалась обратная задача относительно формы голосового
источника. Входными параметрами для этой задачи служили либо сигнал-остаток …

The effectiveness of glottal source analysis is known to be dependent on the phonetic
properties of its concomitant supraglottal features. Phonetic classes like nasals and fricatives …

Speech signals typically have a stationary interval of 20–30 ms. Due to this, most speech
processing techniques split speech signals into segments shorter than the stationary interval …

Various cross-language studies have been conducted to investigate voice quality
differences. However, most of the studies rely on the author's subjective judgments, so that …

According to nonlinear source-filter theory, as the strength of the coupling between the
source and filter increases, typically by a decrease in the vocal tract cross sectional area, the …

This paper describes a fast algorithm that computes the impulse response of the vocal tract
from its transfer function. First, numerical methods for computing the transfer function of a …
